Lyrics

1. Temple Of The Red-Eyed Pigs

When the end is near, the dead shall walk the earth.
But the time is here, when death replaces birth.
Your blood is mine. There’s nothing you can do.
You walk the line, ’cause you know they’re out for you

I am the last man standing. We all die when he’s commanding. And we die so hard, ’cause we try so hard, all in vain.
I am the last man bleeding. Blood to the gods that we’re feeding. In the temple of, temple of the red-eyed pigs.

When the ground is crossed by the shadow of a man. And the day is here start running if you can. Your blood is mine. As you look them in the eyes. You walk the line. And You know you’re bound to die.

God knows you walk alone. Carrying every stone. God knows how hard it is. And every bitter lie. Have crushed you and your life. And now you’re bound to die.

2. Alone With A Loaded Gun

I don’t quite understand my actions. I don’t quite understand what’s wrong. Stench of sweat and tears. It’s time to face my fears.

The taste of metal in my mouth, I feel abused. It’s hard to face the truth. A day anew.

Can someone save my soul. Can someone save me now. I’m alone with a loaded gun, please stop me!

I just wish that I was that headstrong. And I wish I could stay with you. I’m cold, my hands are shaking. I’m down, my body’s aching.

The taste of metal in my mouth, I feel abused. It’s hard to face the truth. A day anew.

Can someone save my soul. Can someone save me now. I’m alone with a loaded gun, please stop me!
I suffered long enough, and when all hope is gone. I’m alone with a loaded gun, please stop me.

3. Mr Fish

Eyes…cold dead eyes. Staring from the shadows to get you,
and he’ll get you. ’cause you don’t have a chance.
Get away if you can, stay away from the gray man.

He could be harmless, but he is craving for blood
Prey on the young, he’s playing god.
Cutting in bodies, perversion of his
Please mr Fish, please mr Fish.

Lives…all these lives. Extinguished by life in perversions.
They don’t stand a chance
How they cried when they ran, ran away from the gray ma.

He could be harmless, but he is craving for blood
Prey on the young, he’s playing god.
Cutting in bodies, perversion of his
Please mr Fish, please mr Fish.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

4. Follow me

Close your eyes and you will see. The perverted side of me. Step inside to my world of misery. You got to leave your pity life behind. I will be your master and you’ll find. That there’s no way out of here. No way to disappear.

I know you will believe. I know you’ll be relieved. So come here don’t get scared. Follow me.
With darkness in our hands. The night comes to an end.  We’ll set the pigs free. So follow me.

You know it’s understood. Doing well by doing good. It is your turn to write the word. You know you should. I’m not your devil and I’m not your god. But I’m deep inside your weakened heart. There is nothing left to learn. Just to pray that the world will burn.

“Look down at me and you will see a fool. Look up at me and you will see a god. Look straight at me and you will se yourself”.

5. Crone Of Bell

Red River dreams turned out to be another journey wasted. A place of death emerging from the blood that she tasted. Watch out, when the shadows sings she will take you one by one. Get out of here before everybody’s dead and gone.

From the shadows she will come. Into darkness you’ll succumb. While her voice is getting stronger. She has caused you all the pain. She has emptied all your veins. Now you’re going straight to hell. She’s the crone, the crone of bell.

Black hound, rabbit head – was the beginning of a bloody curse. Sound of a beating on the walls, and things went from worse to worse. Knock, knock, it’s getting near so just take us away from here. In the name of the lord, who are you and what do you want?

6. Phoenix Down

I’ll bring you life. Take the pain, make you whole again. Like a knife. Slitting through your open veins. You know you’re one with the prince of lies. When your tasting the demon’s desires.

I’ll make you scream, intense it burns inside of you. Now you’re in heat. The phoenix down.
I’ll make you scream because my fire makes you weak. The devil’s crown. Phoenix down.

Feed your lies. Make the truth your reality. How he tries. To fill your soul with his agony. You know you’ll pray on your bleeding knees. To the one who holds the key.

7. Night of the Demons

I failed to understand how to get away form hell. Stuck in the underground where only darkness dwells. At the point of no return. At the gates where all is said. I though I saw an angel dancing with the dead.

Night of the demons. I know that they will hunt you down. Night of the demons. Preaching black sermons. You know they’re closing in on you. In the night of the demons.

I took what satan gave, I knew the price to pay. And now I’m damned to hell and hell will be my grave. For eternity, wrath will tangle me. Pain is everywhere, and death won’t set me free.

8. Eyes Wide Shut

So you’re dead with me. Names carved in stone. Been here for so long. Our minds are getting old. The end is closing in. The end is closing in.

Death is a scent I’m feeling. Blood is the drug that gets me high. I’ve opened the door to your soul. Like a cut, with my eyes wide shut.

Now, we walk this trail. To where we will belong. Weak, frail and so pale. Still we’re feeling strong. The end is closing in. The end is closing in.

9. Hell is Mine

Through weary eyes. I see your lies. And truth hits hard. In my disguise. There is no life, pain is all. And when you speak I walk away. I turn the brightest day to grey.

I got misery on my side. There is no place left to hide. Once again, hell is mine. If you wanna take the devil’s hand. If you really wanna understand. You have to know hell is mine.

Full of despair. A notion of death, my final breath. I grasp for air. A sky turning red, awakes the dead. And when it ends i fade away. Born in the dawn of decay.

10. The Devil’s Rain

Turn the page. And bind your rage. You’ve made your own cell. It’s black as the night, black as the sky, black inside.
Close your eyes. Now roll the dice. And play the game of treason. It’ll bite at your back, bite at your back. One… two… three… four… five… six… six… six…

This time you have gone to far. Who the hell do you think you are. When it turns to a life in vain, by the devil’s rain.
You’re not in heaven nor in hell. ’cause you ain’t got no soul to sell.  You are cleansed to a life in pain, by the devil’s rain.

11. The Reckoning

The reckoning, is to begin. I feel alive, gonna pay back for your lives.
Don’t go outside, don’t try to hide. I’m gonna get you  either way, you will see.
No disregard, I’ll get you hard. No time to wait, you have triggered hate in me.
The time is right, the time is now. You’re sickening, this is the reckoning.

I have heard it all before. Now you’re faced against the wall. ’cause I’m finished with your lies.
I am gonna cast the stones. Gonna do it all alone. A righteous way to die.

The deadening is choking me. I’m searching for the reason of my killing spree.
Don’t hesitate to be afraid. I’ll bring you the darkest day in my crusade.
The new elite is incomplete. You’re crucified, this burning hate will sacrifice.
The heat is on. The heat is here. You’re sickening, this is the reckoning.

The reckoning is to begin. No time to wait, you have triggered hate in me. The deadening is choking me. You’re sickening this is the reckoning.
